The title actually doesn't work.
Being very familiar with the actual book by Mary Shelley, the monster is just a monster. Frankenstein is the last name of the scientist (which some see as a monster, too.) Somewhere along the way we've completely lost that and have transferred the name of "Frankenstein" to the iconic image of a green monster with bolts in his neck. I'm actually surprised, Burton, as nerdy as he is, would still try to play on it. I mean he has it right in that the main character is Viktor Frankenstein but using "Frankenweenie" would suggest somewhere that "Franken" had anything to do with the reanimated creature, which it didn't. Don't tell me to get a life and this or that, I"m simply pointing out something I see all too often when it comes to "Frankenstein." Frankenstein is NOT the reanimated creature.
That said, i really did enjoy the movie. ;-)
